易混词辨析
in case、for fear that、so that、unless
1. lest:连词“以免;唯恐”(正式用语,后接虚拟语气“should+动词原形”,搭配“lest sb. should do sth. 以免某人做某事”,如“She locked the door lest someone break in. 她锁了门,以免有人闯入。”);
2. lest vs. in case:in case连词“以防;万一”(口语化,后接陈述语气或虚拟语气,如“take an umbrella in case it rains 带把伞以防下雨”),lest更正式,必须接虚拟语气;
3. lest vs. for fear that:for fear that连词“生怕;以免”(与lest近义,后接虚拟语气,如“she walked quietly for fear that she should wake the baby 她走路很轻,生怕吵醒宝宝”),可换用;
4. lest vs. so that:so that连词“以便;为了”(表目的,如“study hard so that you can pass the exam 努力学习以便通过考试”),lest表“避免某种结果”,含义相反。
